**Panic on Bandra–Amritsar Express as Two Coaches Detach Between Vangaon and Dahanu**
Palghar, Maharashtra: Passengers aboard the Bandra–Amritsar Express experienced panic on Sunday afternoon when a technical fault caused two coaches to detach from the moving train between Vangaon and Dahanu stations.
The incident occurred around 1:20 pm when the coupling between coaches A1 and A2—the fifth and sixth coaches from the engine—malfunctioned, temporarily separating them. This unexpected detachment led to chaos and fear among the passengers onboard.
**Railway Responds Promptly**
Reacting swiftly to the situation, railway officials initiated emergency measures to manage the issue. Western Railway confirmed the incident via a post on the social media platform X, assuring passengers that corrective steps were already underway.
**Glitch Resurfaces, Repairs Underway**
After a temporary fix, the train resumed its journey. However, upon reaching Sanjan station, the coupling issue resurfaced, requiring further repairs. A dedicated technical team has since been deployed at the site to fully resolve the defect.
**Operations Unaffected, Passengers Informed**
Officials clarified that the disruption did not affect other train operations or the overall schedule. Passengers were promptly informed to prevent confusion, and the railways expressed regret over the inconvenience caused.
“The repair work is progressing swiftly, and the Amritsar Express will depart for its onward journey shortly,” stated the railway administration.
